Bit of a crisis, please help!

Okay, so we've just moved houses and my cat is not happy. We've locked her in a bathroom so that she could adjust for the next few days.

She's already puked up everything in her stomach and hasn't drank any water.

And now she's acting really strangely. She's disoriented and keeps falling over and her head is twitching and her eyes keep flitting back and forth rapidly. She also keeps yowling, and she's usually a pretty quiet cat.

She stopped and slept for a little bit, but then started up again. She's doing it now; my brother's staying with her. I don't know what I should do; she won't touch her water and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to feed her. Can anyone help me? She's six or seven years old, by the way, and an outdoor/indoor cat.

Find an emergency room vet in your area and call them immediately and describe what you stated here. It could be anything from poisoning to who knows what. You are describing a very serious condition.

If you don't know how to reach one, call your vet or other vet's in your area. Very often they have after hours referral services to emergency clinics on their answering machines.

I second Momoofmany - Please take her to an ER vet ASAP... this sounds like an emergency... She needs to be seen now.

Okay, except it's past midnight and I don't think there's any vets open nearby. Should we just find whoever'll take a call, then? Ask for veterinary advice? D:

Most vet's offices will be closed, but there are emergency clinics that work 24x7. Start by calling your vet and see if there is a late night referral message. If there isn't one, call other vets in your area.

Okay, so we're finally back. Soon as we got there she was acting normal again, of course. They took some blood, nothing came up. They think she had some seizures and told us to keep an eye on her. It was probably from stress of the move. Thanks!

Did they at least give her some fluids?
I am glad she is better... But a word of advice: I would take her to your regular vet for a consult. Stress doesn't cause convulsions and vomit like that... it just doesn't - this is weird statement...
Glad you are both home, safe and sound though.
